<p>Yeah - I'm so used to being able to speak with my professors, I can't even imagine what it would be like NOT to have that at a college. True story - last semester, for my 14-16 page final Writing 20 paper, I really wanted to work with my professor and let her teach me the "correct" way I should be writing. I wound up e-mailing her multiple times daily for revisions, opinions, criticism, etc. I e-mailed her so often that out of curiosity I checked at the end of the process - we had exchanged 55 or so total e-mails...most of which contained pieces of my paper that she was commenting on or I was asking her to read over. THAT IS A LOT. I wound up getting an A on the paper because I had essentially revised it with her guidance so many times. She actually sought me out one day to ask me if I was okay...when I said yes, she said she was worried about me because she had not gotten an e-mail in a few hours.</p>
<p>I mean, that just sort of happens to be my favorite story from the year. I'm currently going through the same constant-e-mail revision process in my English class this semester (we're up to e-mail #10). I've gotten hours of one-on-one extra help with my professor (not TA, professor) from a 350 person lecture class. If you want the attention, you can just show up at office hours or e-mail your professor and, at least in my experience, they will almost always accommodate your schedule and take the time to meet with you. It's pretty sweet.</p>
